Coverage Of Nader Is Lacking In Substance

July 9, 2000

I would like to see more in-depth coverage of the Ralph Nader campaign. For instance, you recently showed a photograph of Mr. Nader accepting the presidential nomination of the Green Party at its convention in Denver, with two lines of caption but no information or explanation about what his issues are or what the Green Party platform is.

Also omitted was any reporting of the convention itself, or excerpts of his acceptance speech. Your caption read, "Nader promises a vigorous campaign." I'd like to see Ralph Nader and the Green Party included in the public forum.

As citizens we have the right to know all the issues, all the sides, and possibilities in the presidential race.
